Abstract: The Bureau’s Office of
Community Affairs (OCA) is responsible
for developing strategies to improve the
financial capability of low-income and
economically vulnerable consumers,
such as consumers who are unbanked or
underbanked, those with thin or no
credit file, and households with limited
savings. To address the needs of these
consumers, OCA has developed two
initiatives that target intermediary
organizations and provide tools,
training, technical assistance, and other
services to help them reach low-income
and economically vulnerable consumers
to provide them the financial
empowerment tools and information
that they need, when they need it,
where they are. These initiatives: (1)
Your Money, Your Goals, and (2) Tax
Time Savings both require the Bureau to
engage organizations to participate in
our financial empowerment initiatives.
The proposed information collection
request consists of application forms
that will be used by community-based
organizations, local, State, or Federal
government entities, and national nonprofit organizations to indicate their
desire and ability to participate in
OCA’s various initiatives.
Empowerment will use the information
provided in these applications to select
the best qualified organizations for
participation.
Request for Comments: Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Bureau, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methods and the assumptions used;

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.

(OMB) a request for extension of
approval of a collection of information
under the requirements pertaining to the
third party conformity assessment
bodies registration form, approved
previously under (OMB No. 3041–0143).
In the Federal Register of September 6,
2019, the CPSC published a notice
announcing the agency’s intent to seek
extension of approval of the collection
of information. The Commission
received no comments. Therefore, by
publication of this notice, the CPSC
announces that the agency has
submitted to the OMB a request for
extension of approval of that collection
of information, without change.
DATES: Submit written comments on
this request for extension of approval of
information collection by December 16,
2019.

this request by email: OIRA_

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC has
submitted the following currently
approved collection of information to
OMB for extension:
Title: Requirements Pertaining to
Third Party Conformity Assessment
Bodies.
OMB Number: 3041–0143.
Type of Review: Renewal of
collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Third party
conformity assessment bodies seeking
acceptance of accreditation or
continuing accreditation.
General Description of Collection: The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires certificates
of conformity to be based in some cases
on testing conducted by third party
conformity assessment bodies. The
CPSIA allows third party conformity
assessment bodies to be accredited
either by the Commission or by an
independent accreditation organization
designated by the Commission, and

E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM

15NON1

62516

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2019 / Notices

requires that the Commission maintain
on its website an up-to-date list of
entities that have been accredited to
assess conformity with specific
children’s product safety rules. Except
for firewalled third party conformity
assessment bodies, the Commission has
chosen to accept the accreditation of
third party conformity assessment
bodies that meet accreditation
requirements of an independent
accreditation organization.
To evaluate a third party conformity
assessment body’s qualifications for
acceptance by CPSC, information
related to location, accreditation, and
ownership must be collected from third
party conformity assessment bodies.

The CPSC uses an online collection
form, CPSC Form 223, to gather
information from third party conformity
assessment bodies who are voluntarily
seeking acceptance by CPSC. The
information collected relates to location,
accreditation, and ownership. CPSC
staff uses this information to assess:
• A third party conformity
assessment body’s status as an
independent third party conformity
assessment body, a government-owned
or government-controlled conformity
assessment body, or a firewalled
conformity assessment body;
• Qualifications for acceptance by
CPSC to test for compliance to specified
children’s product safety rules; and

• Eligibility for acceptance on the
CPSC website.
Part 1112 requires the collection of
information in CPSC Form 223:
• Upon initial application by a third
party conformity assessment body for
acceptance by CPSC;
• Whenever there is a change in
accreditation or ownership information;
and
• At least every 2 years, as part of a
regular audit process.
Estimated Burden:
The CPSC estimates the burden of the
collection of information in CPSC Form
223 is as follows:

332.5

These estimates are based on the
following information:
• Based on applications received
from FY 2013, to date, we estimate the
number of third party conformity
assessment bodies that would register
initially each year for the next 3 years
to be 40.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to resubmit CPSC Form 223
every 2 years. Because all third party
conformity assessment bodies have not
submitted their first CPSC Form 223s at
the same time, only about half would be
expected to resubmit a CPSC Form 223
in any 1 year.
• As of August 2019, 581 third party
conformity assessment bodies have
registered with CPSC. Approximately
half (291) of these firms would be
required to re-register with CPSC each
year.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to ensure that the information
submitted on CPSC Form 223 is current
and must submit a new CPSC Form 223
whenever the information changes.
Based on current experience with third
party conformity assessment bodies, we
estimate that two third party conformity
assessment bodies will make revisions
per year to update their information. A
change in information is a change that
does not require review of laboratory
accreditation documents, such as scope
or test methods. Examples of revised
information include changes in the

website URL, name of the laboratory,
and name of point of contact.
• Therefore, the total burden is 332.5
hours, which we will round up to 333
hours. We estimate that hourly
compensation for the time required for
recordkeeping is $34.61 per hour (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
Table 9, total compensation for sales,
office, and related workers in goodsproducing industries, March 2019:
https://www.bls.gov/ect/data.htm). The
total cost burden to the respondents is
approximately $11,525 ($34.61 × 333
hours = $11,525).
